Description Victor Tseng 2004-06-23 02:16:38 UTC
this is a small handy tool for users with many XIMs.
its currently only in Chinese (Trad, Simp), but is extensible for other language such as Japanese and Korean.

this is CJK related.

Comment 2 Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-23 16:51:16 UTC
What about using /etc/xim-select/{xcin,scim,fcitx,...}? It would make ebuild with xim-select support easier.
Comment 3 Victor Tseng 2004-06-23 21:35:01 UTC
what do u mean?

can't really understand.
Comment 4 Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-23 21:54:56 UTC
Sorry, that is we create /etc/xim-select/xcin containint:

               case ${XLANG} in                                                
                        zh_CN*,zh_SG*)                                          
                                echo -n "export XMODIFIERS=@im=xcin-${XLANG};"  
                                ;;                                              
                        *)                                                      
                                echo -n "export XMODIFIERS=@im=xcin;"           
                                ;;                                              
                esac                                                            
                [ -n "${XLANG}" -a -x /usr/bin/xcin ] && echo -n "LANG=\"${XLANG
                ;;                                                              

in xim-select.sh: just use
case ${XIM} in
xcin)
  source /etc/xim-select/xcin
  ;;

the same for scim, fcitx, xsim ...
/etc/xim-select/xcin will be part of xcin ebuild.
Comment 5 Victor Tseng 2004-06-23 22:55:27 UTC
oic, and this time i understand :)

i'm willing to do the modify, but however that requires other IMs to contribute.
hmm... maybe a "/etc/xim-select/fallback/" directory is a good idea.

xim-select-0.0.2.ebuild

i'm not sure if this should go into app-i18n or x11-misc?
maybe app-i18n fits better?
Comment 7 Mamoru KOMACHI (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-03 19:54:54 UTC
Hi, I think it's better to include GTK+ immodules support for this package.
To do so, set GTK_IM_MODULE to your preferred GTK+ immodule. However,
if you add GTK+ immodules support (and possibly Qt immodules support
later on), isn't "im-select" better name for the package?

As for its category, I think app-i18n fits better than x11-misc. (all the input
methods reside in app-i18n)
Comment 8 Mamoru KOMACHI (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-14 19:45:50 UTC
Where can I find the latest source tarball?
I can download xim-select-0.0.3.ebuild, but
xim-select-0.0.3.tar.bz2 is not downloadable.

As for naming, I prefer im-config or config-im,
because we already have {java,gcc,ruby}-config
in Gentoo.

xim-select-0.0.3.ebuild

I'd like to take this bug, if possible. 

I added an auto-start function to xim-select.sh, which will use the $HOME/.xim
as config file(if presented) and start the desired XIM. Also I added a simple
script "00startxim" to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d, so xim-select.sh will be
executed automatically by gdm when login.

I placed the modified xim-select-0.0.3.tar.bz2 to
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ming/stuff/xim-select-0.0.3.tar.bz2
Comment 10 MATSUU Takuto (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-06 13:39:12 UTC

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay.
So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your
ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.
